Well, no one caused our loved one's dementia and it's not a "moral" standards issue.

It seems what we may be feeling is , quoting , "Those who have high levels of empathy or care a lot about social relationships

may be more prone to feeling guilty

, while people who have high levels of “dark personality traits”, such as psychopathy or narcissism, may be less inclined to do so."

So, don't hold on to the pain - ""Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Your loved one was blessed to have you in their corner caring.
